WASHINGTON". Feb. !S. While
President Wilson was considering to
day the latest note of the allied pre
miers on the Adriatic controversy,
sharp criticism of his course in the
negotiations broke out in the midst
of the peace treaty debate in the
senate.
Not only the irreconcilable oppo
nents of the treaty, but one of the
mild reservation republicans. Senator
KejloKK of Minnesota, joined in the
senate attack which occupied a good
part of the session. A general de
fense of the president waa made by
Senator Hitchcock.
Jt was indicated that Mr. Wilson I
would not long delay his reply to the
allied note, which was said to nave
invited the United States to join in
attempting a settlement acceptable to
both Jugo-siavia and itaiy. i ne re
ply was expected to go forward early
next week.
The senate discussion revolved
around assertions that the disagree
ment demonstrated concretely the for
eign complications which would fol
low America's entrance to the league
of nations and that the president was
seeking to interfere in the affairs of
other nations without making any ef
fort to learn whether the people of
this country "were behind him.
War I. Held Fonalble.
Senator Thomas. Colorado, an irre
concilable, went so far as to suggest
that the only way out now seems to
be a war in which the United States
either must participate or else be
placed in the position of refusing to
back up the positive stand taken on
behalfof the nation by the president.
1 ne wnoie situation waa timrittirr
lied by Senator Kellogg as "rather
discouraging" to friends of the treaty.
Hp iclM.red the Adriatic controversy
was "none of our business" and Aiat
the president' attempt to "dictate
decision was "without justification.
Senator Borah (rep.), Idaho, and
Brandegee (rep.). Connecticut, also
assailed the position taken by the
executive.
Senator Kellogg said the president
without justification had undertaken
to dictate "absolutely" an Adriatic
settlement. He added that the de
veloument was ' "discouraging" to
friends of the peace treaty. The sen
ator said he did not know "why Italy
hould not defend herself."
Land Crabbing C hance.
Quoting from the president's ref
erence to self-determination in his
recent notes to the allied premiers.
Senator Kellogg asserted that in
many cases territory was "parceled
out" at Versailles without regard to
the people interested.
Renlvine to Senator Kellogg. Sena
tor Hitchcock of Nebraska declared
that attacks on the president for
railing to carry out all of his pro
posals for self-determination came
with poor grace from republican
senators who had tried to discredit
him during the negotiations.
Senator Braifcdegee, republican, Con
necticut, joining in the debate on the
Adriatic question, said the "league of
nations is fulminating over there and
our allies aihd their associates have
come to a little difference of opinion."
Faith la Shaken.
"His note says they 'have raised
the question whether the American
government' that's him 'can at any
time co-operate with European na
tions for the peace of the world.'
"Well, they wheezed a few times
when they got that."
Senator Shields, democrat. Tennes
see, asked how far Senator Brandegee
thought the United States would en
ter the- controversy concerning "a few
dagoes over on the Adriatic."
Heart of World Brakra.
"Yes. he can't have his way about
a spot of red ink on the map of Eu
rope, resumed senator uranuegee.
"and at the first difference of opin
ion he says the league can go hang
for all of him. He told us that the
heart of the world would be broken if
we did not jump right in.
"The American people, I believe, are
absolutely ignorant of the technical
issues embraced in the Fiume contro
versy. Yet. here'a a voice, heard in
London, Paris and Rome, speaking
with the maximum of assurance, not
to say cocksureneas, as to what
America thinks."
Confidence la Lacking.
Interrupting the Connecticut sena
tor. Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
referring to the allied note of eb
ruary 17 In which the premiers had
Viewed with surprise the threat of
the United States to withdraw from
the comity of nations." said he did
not "accept the statements of those
gentlemen with any great degree bf
sincerity."
"It has been a matter of history.'
he said, "that none of the premiers
have had any confidence in the
league."
Senator Thomas, democrat. Colo
rado, another of the irreconcilables.
said that if the Adriatic tangle were
to be taken aa an illustration of the
operation of the league, "harmony
-will be obtained only at the expense
of American popularity."
Jugo-Slara Take Stand.
The text of the refusal of the Jugo
slav government to accomplish in its
entirety the proposition of the British
and French premiers for settlement of
the Adriatic question was made public
here today by the Jugo-Slav legation.
At the outset the note says the
Jugo-Slav government regards the
proposal "as an amicable proposition,
and not as an ultimatum." and reaf
firms the previous suggestions that
"the present difficulties be settled
either by arbitration or by means of
a plebiscite.
"In regard to the essential part of
these propositions." the note says.
"the royal government is of the opin
ion that It should point oirt that
these are not In accord either with
the principle declared by the peace
conference of the free determination
and Independence of peoples, or the
aspirations of a nation of its geo
graphical and economic interests.
"The royal government is further
forced to point out that in the prop
- ositions of January SO no guarantee
is given either for the evacuation of
the territory over which the sover
eignty of the Serbs, Croats and
Slovene state will be recognited, nor
for the evacuation of Fiume or Zara.
which would become independent
states."
